I NOW HAVE TWO TONGUE PIERCINGS!

In August of 1998, I got my tongue pierced. I was really scared and
researched a lot! I asked people who got it done how much it hurt
and how swollen it got. I finally decided to just get it done and
see for myself. I went to a place called "Stainless Studios" in Toronto
Ontario. I went there to get my belly pierced before and they did a great
job. (Warning!! Piercing is addictive!) I asked many questions, and they
were more than willing to answer me. That made me feel pretty confident
since they knew their stuff. They made me fill out a form asking many
questions, like 'have I been pierced before, if I was on any medications',
etc. They asked for my ID and I was set! I started to get reallt nervous.
My friend and I walked into the room and I sat on a chair (ones that
dentists use). He gave me mouthwash and I had to swish it for like 2
minutes (felt like forever. I sat on the chair and he took my tongue and
wiped it with a tissue. Then, he marked it where he was going to pierce it.
He got a sterilized needle, and put a cup under my mouth. Then, the
scariest part. I closed my eyes and that was it!! My tongue was pierced!!
It barely hurt. I tried to talk. Boy was that funny. I talked with a lisp
but it was so cool. As soon as I left, I sucked on ice. Then, I got home
and showed my Mother. She was so discusted! I took an ibuprophen and went
to bed.

Day 1

When I woke up that morning, it was swollen. I didn't hurt that much. I
ate some scrambled eggs for breakfast and kept sucking on ice the whole day.
My snacks were mainly mushy foods like pudding, mashed potatos,
boost,anything that didn't require chewing. I hated that cause I love to
eat! My piercer told me not too drink cause alcohol makes is swell. Well, I
was going away that weekend and there was no way I was not going to drink.
So I did. I just made sure that I mouthwashed after every drink.

Day 2

Still swollen. IT was about the same as the other day. I still ate my
mushy foods and talked with a lisp. I found it really hard to say words
with 'th, and sh". My friend just laughed at me.

Day 3

Still swollen. Still eating mushy foods.

Day 4

Ate chicken and it took me a long time to eat it too. It's just getting used
to using your tongue with a forgein object in it. It's just wierd. I still
sucked on ice.

Day 5

Getting better. I am experimenting with foods. Tried pasta, and that was
hard to eat.

It took me about a week and a half to fully heal. I then ate chips and
chewed gum and no longer talked funny.

May 1999 - The Second Tongue Piercing

It was a Friday night and me and my friends were bored. So, we decided to
go get pierced for the fun of it. I had my belly done, and didn't want my
face pierced so I thought I'd be different and get my tongue done a second
time. We went to"Stainless Studios" again, since we had such good
experiences there. The same procedure followed.

The piercer walked into the room, and it was the guy who had done me
before!! IT was so cool! So, I told him I wanted my tongue pierced
again and in front of my last piercing. I was afraid that he wouldn't
be able to do it since I do have a small tongue. He said that
everything was okay and he could do it for me. He have me mouthwash
and I had to swish it for like 2 minutes. I remembered doing this the first
time, but was still nervous. I honestly couldn't believe how nervous I was.
I think that is what I like about getting pierced. The whole adrenalin
rush. It's like the first it, everytime. I sat on the chair and he took my
tongue and wiped it with a tissue. Then, he marked it where he was going to
pierce it. Yada yada yada. You know what happened.

I looked in the mirror and it looked so good! I had two!! Two tongue
rings!! I didn't talk with a lisp, I guess since I already had one, my
mouth was used to it.

The next day, it was a little swollen. It was like I never even got my
tongue pierced.

I so recommend getting your tongue pierced! It looks and feels so cool!
And you can buy all kinds of jewelry to change. My next purchase it a baby
blue gem barbell that will match my belly ring.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.
